A public sculpture built with Ido Ramon for LightNight Festival: a four-by-four-metre heart in iron and wood, standing in downtown Tel Aviv on a site that had housed one of the city's largest brothels.

The piece was lit to breathe. The sequence was programmed against the sculpture's own arc, with smoke and reflection worked in so the light had something to catch. Iron carried the structure at that scale; wood kept the warmth that iron alone would have lost.

Built in collaboration with Ness Manetka and Effi Ramon.
